Ajouté : 2026-05-27

[00:00:00]Skyler, mommy's cooking dinner. Danielle starts to prepare dinner and Skyler wouldn't let her do so. She wanted to be picked up constantly. She's used to screaming knowing that you'll pick her up. What you know is she's perfectly fine. And if you pick her up, what you're doing is you're teaching Skyler that every time she behaves this way, it wants you just to pick her up. Danielle couldn't bear Skyler's crying and then she broke down.

[00:00:28]What's this, Skyler?

[00:00:29]What is it that you feel is going on right now?

[00:00:31]>> [screaming] >> I just hate hearing her scream. What what what is it making you feel right now? I WANT TO GIVE HER AWAY.

[00:00:36][screaming] JUST KEEP HEARING HER CRY.

[00:00:37]OKAY. You feel bad because you are not letting her have her own way. Okay.

[00:00:43]>> [crying and screaming] >> Who's being a good mother right now and getting dinner on the go for the whole family?

[00:00:48]So, be a positive parent. Come down [crying] and say, "Darling, mommy can't hold you right now. I'm cooking, okay?" [music] It gave me a lot of strength to have Joe there. I break down easily with all the crying and chaos and running and I just feel like it's never going to work. WHEN I'M DONE COOKING DINNER >> [screaming] >> HOLD YOU AND GO PLAY WITH DADDY.

[00:01:12]NO. NO, I'M SORRY. SKYLER, YOU DON'T HIT MOMMY. THAT IS NOT NICE. YOU HAVE her on it and tell her if she DOES IT AGAIN SHE WILL go on the naughty chair. I'm behind YOU RIGHT NOW.

[00:01:24]MOVE OUT OF THE WAY HERE, DANIELLE. You are taking THE POWER >> [screaming] >> BACK.

[00:01:30]CHAIR. OKAY, THEN YOU DON'T HIT MOMMY.

[00:01:31][laughter] WATCHING MY DAUGHTER TAKING IT SO TOUGH.

[00:01:42]Just wanted to grab her, scoop her up.

[00:01:44]>> You need TO STAY HERE. IT WAS very hard in the beginning. I don't think I would have been able to get Skyler to stay in the naughty chair BY MYSELF NOW.

[00:01:54]>> [screaming] [crying] [screaming] >> DANIELLE, BRING HER BACK TO THE AREA and say You've heard her. Fair enough you want to help me, but you need to say sorry for your behavior before you can help mommy. It's as simple as that.

[00:02:22]You can help mommy, but you need to say you're sorry first.

[00:02:26]>> [crying] >> For how you acted earlier.

[00:02:29]Once you apologize, you can help me.

[00:02:33]Skyler would not apologize and [music] it just dragged on. But Danielle was very persistent and she became increasingly confident. What do you need to say to mommy?

[00:02:46]What do you need to say to mommy?

[00:02:50]You can come out of time out when you apologize. What do you need to say to me?

[00:02:55]Sorry. Thank you. What was that? I'm sorry.

[00:03:00]When Skyler admitted she was sorry Hallelujah. The chair works. I'm really really proud of [music] you. Well done.
